Why it's Wildland
6.8The gardens are part of Chatsworth, a country-house estate shaped by seventeen generations of the Devonshire family. The house’s collections span 4,000 years and include more than 25 rooms, from the Painted Hall to the Sculpture Gallery.
Chatsworth is a substantial historic garden within one of Derbyshire’s defining country-house estates. Its strongest appeal is the chance to pair time outdoors with the art, rooms and family history of the house; the supplied sources do not establish specific garden features or walking routes.
